Panthers' Matt Paradis: Out for season

Paradis (knee) was diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Paradis' worst fears were confirmed after undergoing further tests, and the Panthers' starting center will miss the remainder of the campaign as a result. This is a big blow for the offensive line, as Paradis is a huge asset for them. Sam Tecklenburg is expected to take over at center, though Pat Elflein is also an option once he recovers from his hamstring injury.
